Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter, Has Passed Away At 89



Blomberg: Zbigniew Brzezinski, Security Adviser to Carter, Dies at 89

* Brzezinski helped plan failed Iran hostage rescue mission

Zbigniew Brzezinski, who as national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter advocated a hard line toward the Soviet Union and helped develop the unsuccessful military mission to rescue American hostages in Iran, has died. He was 89.

His death was announced in a tweet on Friday by his daughter, Mika Brzezinski, co-host of the MSNBC program “Morning Joe.” “He was known to his friends as Zbig, to his grandchildren as Chief and to his wife as the enduring love of her life,” Brzezinski wrote on Instagram.

WNU Editor: My father never liked Zbigniew Brzezinski .... there was something about the former national security adviser that always rubbed my father the wrong way .... especially on east-west issues. My father passed away 12 years ago at 82, and now Zbigniew Brzezinski is also gone. From my vantage point I see this as two Cold War warriors from different sides passing away .... and like the era itself .... the door slowly closing and waiting for the few who are left .... Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, etc .... to also pass on.

LMFAO, two "unnamed sources",

In other words, leaks about leakers,

LMFAO

aaa said...

lol, good way of putting it Jay

likely means there are more leakers but could also mean that the soon to be fired leakers realize they've been caught and gave the reporters they've been leaking to a heads up. I'd go with option 1 though that there are more leakers

The construct of the Trump White House, and Trump himself guarantee's there will be more leaks, and more and more leakers.

Trump has no message discipline, and sandbags himself on a regular basis, ( the Comey firing) while stabbing members of his team, ( Stone, Sessions),

His team has no "message discipline", they can't even manage to get him off of twitter,

And now, they've set up a War Room to try to push back and message manage Trump/Russia, part of which will be "leaking" counter factuals to friendly media.

They are going to run into some problems with their model that they didn't have during the election. Briebart and other sites traffic is way down, the Hillary Hating FBI New York office leaks don't effect the Trump/Russia story, the Media's gotten wiser about bots and trolls, the Russian FSB won't and can't help, the MSM got burned by hyped leaks that wound up being nothingburger, Fake News won't deflect the focus,

and most importantly, the Intel Community is so worried about Trump/Russia, that they "burned" the fact they broke the Russian's secure comms to "out" Kurshner.
